Forming the shining backbone of Bretonnia’s nobility and martial power, the Knights of the Realm are sworn defenders of the realm who command immense respect for both their high station and the heroic deeds performed to attain it. Clad in heavy, heraldic plate armour and mounted upon fine, powerful warhorses, these proud nobles ride to war under a sea of fluttering banners. When assembled into their iconic, wedge-shaped Lance Formation, their momentum is absolute—a thunderous charge of Bretonnian Knights has the terrifying power to shatter enemy hordes leaving only broken armour and trampled foes in their wake.
Drawn from the extended families of barons and dukes, the Knights of the Realm on Foot prove that Bretonnian valor is not limited to the saddle. Clad in gleaming, ornate plate armor, these minor nobles proudly march into battle displaying the colors and motifs of their liege lord, intricately blended with their own personal heraldic devices. This striking heraldry identifies them as a unified family of highborn blood while proclaiming each warrior’s individual stature and deeds. Dismounting to fight where the melee is thickest, these resolute nobles wield great weapons and heavy shields with unyielding pride, forming a glittering wall of chivalric steel that defends their homeland to the death.
